The MtsPipeline object creates and executes a pipeline configuration. This pipeline may be used as an order processing pipeline (OPP) or as a Commerce Interchange Pipeline (CIP).
The MtsPipeline object is registered under Microsoft® Transaction Server (MTS) as transactions not supported. Commerce Server 3.0 stores should use this pipeline in situations in which transactions are not desired.
Commerce Server 3.0 provides three similar objects that execute pipeline configurations. These objects differ in the way in which they are registered with MTS (see MtsTxPipeline and MtsPipeline Overview).
The MtsPipeline object supports the following methods:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| LoadPipe | Loads a pipeline configuration (.pcf) file to the pipeline. |
| Execute | Runs the components in the pipeline. |
| SetLogFile | Identifies the file to which pipeline events are logged. |
